| User ReviewKatherine Tloved the movie so much. Great acting!!! It is an amazing story that is told in a perfect way. The movie makes you live and feel with main characters!!! If you see it once you will want to see it again. Ithought Seymour Cassel and Adrienne Barbeau were wonderful together. Great great great picture!!! |

| User ReviewSerrie PI absolutely, to my surprise, loved loved loved this film. It's not something I would ordinarily choose to see, but I am so glad I did. I've seen it now five times and each time I've enjoyed it more. It touched me deeply. Beautifully done and well worth seeing. Highly recommend. |
| User ReviewJennifer TAn amazing but heart breaking story...have tissues! |
| User ReviewMichael AIt's nice to see a movie with people in it who are over the age of 22 and who probably won't end up on the front page of TMZ next week on their way to rehab. This film has a mature cast who does not disappoint. Directed by LeVar Burton (yea the reading rainbow guy) Reach for Me is the story of a man at the end of his life who finds love. I thought it inspiring to see a story with wonderful rich and real characters brought to life on film. This film is great for any age. It will resonate with anybody who still believes in love. I'd totally recommend it to anybody who likes grounded, character driving films that are done well. |
